<p>was it okay to use the novel animal dreams?</p>
<ol>
<li>declaration of independence or plea to return </li>
</ol>
<p>I put a plea to return because they talk about Love dying and then the last lines (which the question was about) refer to someone bringing it back or something like that</p>
<ol>
<li>given him over = "thought for dead" or "betrayed" was bemusement one? </li>
</ol>
<p>I put thought for dead because, once again, Love was on his deathbed at that part and there isn't any talk of any sort of betrayal </p>
<ol>
<li><p>last paragraph of gypsies = dark imagery/harsh sounds? - I think I chose dark imagery but that's questionable</p></li>
<li><p>raphael imitators' house = ? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>I can't seem to recall what this question was...</p>
<ol>
<li>significance of city names in dublin = show familiarity or show mystical nature of trip?</li>
</ol>
<p>I put familiarity because the speaker refers to that place as home and I don't really see anything mystical about the list of city names.</p>
<ol>
<li>cemetaries and graves = slow death of poverty or convergence of father/son experiences? </li>
</ol>
<p>I put convergence of father/son experiences just because the whole poem seems to revolve around the feelings of the boy and a bit about his dad. while the description of the city is unfavorable, it doesn't really talk about poverty per se, just the fact that it is very different from his home.</p>
<p>I put I, II, and III. Perspective changes because the at the beginning the boy is the narrator and then the authorial voice takes over in the 2nd stanza (I think someone already said this so if this may be redundant...sry!)</p>
<p>Me and GlueEater's English teacher gave us the 1st poem from the poem compare and contrast to read/analyze two days before the test (the Keats one about fear). I was soooo surprised!! But I still think I didn't do too well on the 2nd prompt... There was still so much BS in there.</p>
<p>i put mystical nature for the 5th question, it seemed to fit the tone of the whole first part of that passage.</p>
<p>My friend literally wrote, "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAA" and put down some obscene words below it for the third essay.</p>
<p>ROFL. Funniest thing ever. </p>
<p>Seriously though, I read the Sparknotes for Hamlet literally 3 hours before taking the exam and was like WOW! The 3rd prompt was MADE for Hamlet and Laertes! I kind of BS-ed it though. Oh well.</p>
<p>Thank you SO much williamsf1 fan. I was looking for that poem, absolutely loved it =)</p>
<p>On a different note, the exam was obscenely easy. 5'd it no doubt.</p>
<p>I don't think perspective really changes between those two stanzas -- there are a bunch of perspective shifts in the first stanza itself, so the perspective thing doesn't "stand out" at me. Time and imagery do, however.</p>
<p>^^^^actually i think it did, because the narrator stopped referring to himself and his father.</p>
<p>You are confusing subject matter with perspective. </p>
<p>Perspective does not change from stanza 1 to stanza 2. Even those arguing for it admit that perspective is inconsistent throughout the 1st stanza. If you looked at the last line of the first stanza and the firstline of the second stanza, it was very clear that there was no perspective change (there were perspective shifts in the 1st stanza, but that is not what the question was asking).</p>
<p>I used Estela as a foil to Pip in Great Expectations. They greatly contrast, but is she too main of a character?</p>
<p>I think the MC section was much harder than on our practice tests, but I'm still fairly confident I got a 5 (hopefully). The essays were exceptionally easy in my opinion. We're allowed to discuss them now, right? The comparison of poems was pretty easy, the second one with Arun and immersion of culture was very easy for me because I understood this topic all too well (I heard from others it was the most difficult for them, though). For the foil I picked Vanity Fair, with Becky and Amelia. That was my favorite question.</p>
<p>k, so since the 2 days are over, can we discuss the MCs?</p>
<p>Um no, you're technically not allowed to discuss MCs ever.</p>
<p>Yeah, pretend they never happened</p>
<p>oh .</p>
<p>Can you discuss it in your wills?</p>
<p>"And my last nine hundred dollars I bequeath to the College Board ..... NOT. The answer to owl MCQ question on the 2008 AP English Lit exam should have been 'toot' according to the historical phonology of English, you dolts!"</p>
